GeneHarbor has developed an enzyme optimization technology platform, which integrates the current knowledge and techniques in genetic engineering, protein engineering, biochemistry, genetics, industrial fermentation, bio-informatics, organic chemistry, computer design, high through screening and industrial enzymology. The technology platform is highly effective in generating novel products tailored for industrial, agriculture and medical applications.
GeneHarbor's technologies, aimed at breeding enzymes with desired commercial features and lower manufacture cost, include five major components: targeted mutagenesis, high throughput screening, maximization of gene expression, optimization of fermentation and post-fermentation processing, and optimization of immobilization.
Competitive advantages:
GeneHarbor's technology platform integrates branches of science and related technology to generate products with multiple improvements desired by the end-users. The Company provides its clients with final products ready for their applications.
Wide applications and tremendous growth potential:
Geneharbor's technology platform has wide applications in all walks of life, particularly in energy, fine chemicals industry, medicines, environmental protection, textile industry and food industry. Currently, of the US$600 billion fine chemicals produced per annum, less than 4% is made by enzymatic processes. As the "green chemistry" plays an increasingly important role, enzymatic processes will inevitably replace most of the conventional chemical processes that are often expensive, low in efficiency and use hazardous chemicals. It is estimated that 60% of fine chemicals produced will be made by enzymatic processes by the year of 2020, with an annual sales of US$400 billion. Among the over 200 enzymes/proteins currently used in manufacture industries, only a very small fraction of them have been subjected to optimization. Meanwhile, new enzymes and applications of enzymes have been continually discovered. The commercial and environmental benefits of applying GeneHarbor's technology platform to developing more efficient enzymes and processes are enormous. |
